Hey guys, sure appreciate you taking the time and showing how it's done... I'm looking forward to harvesting my first deer,then putting to use how y'all do it. I turned 59 today... I reckon you're never too old to start! Thanks so much!...Mat from Virginia
@matthompson9281, I'm 56 and I started hunting last year. We haven't bought any red meat since! Deer, racoon, ground hog, and squirrel are all delicious!
Well, Dave compared to your dad you may be a little rough around the edges. (Pun intended) But you did a great job and I bet it doesn’t taste any different. My butchering skills aren’t all that great but nobody’s ever complained about the taste of the meat or a little extra burger. Keep up the good work.
Great job and a special thanks to your father. Lots to learn. Wife and I put up our own deer meat from start to finish. It’s enjoyable to have a team mate
Good video. I part mine out without cutting the quarters off the carcass. Did it all while they are hanging. My theory is if a chuck of meat don’t make it on one piece it will make it on the piece next to it. Got a skeleton left. Then trim and slice the parts. I clean the outside tissue off a little more.
Just finished doing this in my kitchen with a doe I shot Sunday. Love seeing pros do it. Don’t think I’ll ever not look for better ways to process. It’s a little extra work, but I really enjoy the process, from start to finish.
Always Love to see your Dad cutting up deer. I thought you would be better, but most of your time must have been spent at the cleaning table. My son and I have same thing going on but he is better at breaking down primels while on the hook. I do it at the table.
It would be nice to comment on the knife selection. I find a 9 inch Victorinox has enough flex and strength to do an entire deer. I think that may be the difficulty in the earlier portion of the video with that large knife. Great video. I always learn and relearn from Dad.
Great video! Have a deer aging right now. Plan to start cutting in a few days. Have some questions about the equipment. Are those cut proof gloves? The white knit looking ones 6" or 5" boning knives? Where do you get that cardboard? Is it just fresh boxes that you clean with alcohol? Thanks so much
Deer fat doesn't have a good flavor like beef fat. We mix beef suit for our burger. The left over deer pieces go to a predator pile for game camera viewing.
I respectfully disagree. Cut cap off sirloin, grind. Get that sirloin first. Steak it or keep it as the "football" roast. Get the bottom round (outside of leg) and glean the eye of round from it. You'll know you have the eye when it looks like a paper towel cardboard tube. Eye is similar to inner loin and nearly as delicious. Top round is left and makes hearty steaks. Cut "calf muscle" (fist sized) off shank for grind and the rest is for the hounds. That guy is good at what he does, just does it differently than me and do what works for you. Most important is a quality knife and keeping it sharp
But, notice how easily he was able to teach his method. He has passed on this method many times as his experience shows. A remarkable teacher is much more valuable to the world then a rigid set of rules. He does such a good job explaining the bone structure, that as his students gain confidence, their personal methods can adapt. Everyone eventually changes from how they learned, it's how we grow. But starting with clear direction from experienced people is invaluable.

So glad to see another video with your Dad, what a professional.
Thank you!

Very true!
You can definitely tell your dad is a pro and you're better than I am It Takes Me 2 days to do a deer and I've been doing them for a long time
You and me both
😂
Thanks again guys. Every year up here in Pembroke Ontario i rewatch you videos. Cheers lads
Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome stuff.
i like it when your dad is on here

Great job Dave. No better way to learn but from the best, Dad. Best regards to you, your dad and the family.
Thanks Dave, I will say "HI" to everyone from you.

My Daddy taught me how to process my game animals also. I saved a lot of money from a processing plant, great memories watching this. Thank you
Thanks for the comment.
Great video & info, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!

Congrats!
Very good, meat slapping fresh card board. Nice refresher I've got to do the same job tommorow
Hope it went well for you.
Your dad is great at demonstrating. Awesome video, guys!
Thanks for watching
Very cool. Your dad is definitely a pro. Cherish him.
Thanks! Will do!
Dave! Why didn’t you follow your Dad in the butchering business???
I know all the years he was cutting deer as a side job I was out hunting.
That was fantastic! Thank-you from Windermere BC!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another great video Dave.
Thanks for watching.
Knife brand of choice?
Mostly Victorinox.

Yes, I'm still learning.
Your dad is pretty special, and talented.
Time for reflection...
Great Video Dave! Thanks
You bet!

Maybe in future vids we can do that.

Are those cut proof gloves? The white knit looking ones
6" or 5" boning knives?
Where do you get that cardboard? Is it just fresh boxes that you clean with alcohol?
Thanks so much
Many answers here czcams.com/video/tXFaazCuhcI/video.html and czcams.com/video/iI-CmvHcJkU/video.html the gloves are not cut prove, but they can help
So do you save the fat (trim) for burger or something instead of the trash.
Deer fat doesn't have a good flavor like beef fat. We mix beef suit for our burger. The left over deer pieces go to a predator pile for game camera viewing.
Didn't see you address the nasty lymph node between the round roasts that needs removed, or the tenderloin between the roasts.
see czcams.com/play/PLksX0m4wrQHwY8aepuTO-dGE51MvZIabD.html it should all be in there
Real pro.
he is
Just now having moosemeatballs. ❤
Sounds awesome.
What type of knife are you using to debone your please provide me with a model number and you're sharpening tool
Victorinox, not sure model, we sharpen with stones and electric
Where is the gland that needs to be removed in the hind quarter? I did not see him. Remove it in this video.
Came out with some of the fat

Many ways to do it, very true.
